UNITED STATES PATENT OFFIC RUSSELL B. WILLIAMSON, OF CLIFTON SPRINGS, NEW YORK.

SPRAYING DEVICE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 755,823, dated March 29, 1904.

Application filed September 19, 1903. Serial No. 173,810. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RUssELL B. WILLIAMSON, of Clifton Springs, county of Ontario, State of New York, have invented certain new and I? constructions and combinations, all as hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims. 1

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a spraying device embodying. my invention. Fig. 2 is a detail of the same, showing the peculiar form of nozzle employed. Fig. 3 is an end view of the device looking at the front of the nozzle.

In the drawings, 2 represents a barrel or reservoir wherein the liquid to be sprayed is placed, provided with a tube 3, that projects above the top of the barrel.

4 is a pump barrel or cylinder secured to the barrel 2 at its forward end and having a piston (not shown) and an operating-rod 4:, provided with the usual handle 5. The forward end of the cylinder 4 is provided with a convex wall 6, having a centrally-arranged orifice 7 therein that is preferably oval and opposite the upper end of the tube 8, the greatest diameter of said orifice being in line substantially with said tube, as shown in Fig. 3. Surrounding this orifice I provide a horizontal oval depression 8, extending upon each side of the orifice, so that when the air is discharged by the movement of the pump-piston it will pass along the depression upon each side of the tube 3 and spread the spray discharged from said tube in a fan-like form that will greatly increase the efficiency of the device.

Iam aware that spraying devices with liquid-reservoirs and air-pumps and atomizingtubes have been patented heretofore and are now in general use, and hence I make no claim, broadly, to the same herein, my invention consisting in providing a horizontally-arranged depression in the forward end of the pumpbarrel which will serve to direct the air out to the sides of the atomizing-tube and spread the spray as it is discharged therefrom.

I claim as my invention 1. The combination, with a reservoir and a tube leading therefrom, of a pump having its forward end provided with an orifice opposite the open end of said tube, and a depression extending laterally with respect to said orifice.

2. The combination, with a reservoir and a tube leading therefrom, of a pump having an oval orifice in its forward end near the open
